Origin + Story
Silver Stripe is a cultivar with a subtle silver or cream-colored stripe running along the center or margins of the dark green leaves. The variegation is less dramatic than Brasil's bold lime stripe, making it a more understated choice. The overall effect is a soft, silvery shimmer especially visible in good light.
Silver Stripe sits between the classic green heartleaf and the bolder Brasil, offering a middle ground. It is the quietest of the heartleaf cultivars, which is exactly the appeal.
